Laphroaig 30 Year Old Bot.1985 70cl, 53.5%

Description

Laphroaig 30 Year Old Bot.1985 70cl, 53.5% is a rare Islay single malt Scotch whisky from Laphroaig Distillery, distilled in October 1985 and bottled in May 2016. Matured for 30 years and bottled at natural cask strength, this limited edition shows a powerful yet beautifully aged side of Laphroaig.

This expression was matured in ex-Bourbon barrels, allowing the distillery’s famous medicinal peat smoke to develop alongside vanilla, citrus, oak, spice and mature coastal depth. The long maturation brings elegance and complexity, while the 53.5% strength gives the whisky excellent structure, intensity and long-lasting flavour.

Expect orange peel, vanilla, coriander, cedar cigar box, sea salt, peat smoke, oily malt, citrus warmth and old oak spice. Complete with its original white wooden-style presentation box shown in the supplied product image, this is a serious bottle for collectors of Laphroaig, rare Islay whisky and older official distillery bottlings.
